Fascinating song. Just listened to it via Youtube. Don't care for one line, though: "And if your God makes war then he's no God I know 'Cause Christ would not send boys to die." God does not make war; man (with his/her free will) chooses to go to war. We were born with original sin thanks to Adam and Eve, and it is within our power to make the tough choices. Man created the need for war and the ability to fight wars. And, yes, unfortunately at times there is a 'need"....consider the Jews who could not reason with a man like Hitler. Other than that unfair and dishonest jab at God, this track is excellent.
well, obviously he is referencing the fact that people, of all religions, misunderstand their faith and personally (or are brainwashed to) believe that they are supposed to kill for their god. He is most definitely not saying that he thinks that other "gods" make war.

@TurnMeOn Yea at first I thought that he was blaming God for wars, but the context I believe he is singing about is the gods that do stir up wars like Allah for example.
